As election results began to favor Republicans, Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his heartfelt congratulations to Donald Trump on his anticipated return to the presidency. On X (formerly Twitter), Modi referred to Trump as "my friend" and expressed his excitement for the renewed partnership between India and the United States.
"Heartiest congratulations my friend @realDonaldTrump on your historic election victory. As you build on the successes of your previous term, I look forward to strengthening our collaboration to further enhance the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership. Together, let's work towards the betterment of our people and promote global peace, stability, and prosperity," Modi said in his message.
Trump’s win in what was expected to be a tight race became clearer as Republicans dominated in all seven battleground states, a dramatic reversal from the 2020 election, when Democrats had claimed most of these states. In his speech, Trump hailed the victory as a monumental achievement for the American people. He also reflected on the July 13 assassination attempt, stating, “God spared my life for a reason.”
Describing the Republican movement as "the greatest political movement of all time," Trump emphasized his commitment to help heal the nation, secure its borders, and ensure a prosperous future. "We made history for a reason tonight," he declared, vowing to fight for the American people every day.
With the Republicans not only securing a sweeping win but also taking control of the Senate and showing strength in the House of Representatives, Trump's victory has reshaped the political landscape. In his victory address, Trump expressed gratitude to his supporters, running mate JD Vance, his wife Melania, and their children. He also acknowledged the contributions of prominent figures like Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who had supported his campaign throughout.
This significant Republican win marks a pivotal moment in US politics, with Trump emphasizing his dedication to serve the nation in the face of a tough election battle.
